Thank you for these tiny br particles of ocean salt, br pearl-necklace viruses, br winged protozoans: br for the infinite, br intricate shapes br of submicroscopic br living things. br br For algae spores br and fungus spores, br bonded by vital br mutual genetic cooperation, br spreading their br inseparable lives br from equator to pole. br br My hand, my arm, br make sweeping circles. br Dust climbs the ladder of light. br For this infernal, endless chore, br for these eternal seeds of rain: br Thank you. For dust.
